digi dash buying/selling

[scooby-KILLER]

when buying a digi dash i know the speed sensor needs to match, do i need to trace the loom back behind the dash or can i cut the 3 wires so buyer can wire it up??

any help would be great as obviously want to sell it the way its suppose to be as in all correct bits there

cheers s-K

I'd just leave them as much wire as you can

As long as you have given them the plug and wire they can sort the rest

[scooby-KILLER]

ah excellent mate wasnt sure if i had to trace it back or not,

so just give them plenty wire and im all good

You want the 2x multi plugs in the back of the dash left with if possible too.................(ignore if you have this covered).

[scooby-KILLER]

what do you mean chap?, i have the dash and the gear box speed sensor? was just away to put up for sale with pictures, but not so sure now

[Davey j]

In the back of the dash there are two slots for the two multi plugs in the Astra dash loom to go into. Ideally you want to chop these and leave them in the back of the dash as only Astras have them as standard. If someone buys the clocks to go into a corsa they will need the plugs to splice into their own dash looms.

great!, i wont be home for 2 weeks so now i cant sell it untill i go home, as i do still have the car and the plugs you speak of, bloody typical i was told its was only the dash and gear box sensor that was needed

****ing pissed right of now!!

[Davey j]

They can be sourced.........but given the scarcity of GTE stock these days it is much easier just to sort this out for people. Especially given how tight wallets are generally at the mo. Try and leave as much of the wiring (length) as you can. Most of it is soldered together and joined to single wires in the Nova/Corsa.

Most GTE restos will have the wiring already so they don't need them.

Might be best advertising it with the option of with or without depending on what the buyer needs them for. Saves you wrecking a loom.

**** the car loom mate i couldnt care less about it, the car gave me so much grief i would sell pillars from the shell lol, aye i guess that is an option i could give, whats it worth? milage counter doesnt work the rest is spot on

[Davey j]

I'll bet if you push the reset needle in firmly it'll start working again. Common problem on them sticking and all fixable.

In good nick with loom, transducer and both plugs aim for £50-60 delivered really.

[scooby-KILLER]

yeah thought that mate, was going to stick it up for £60 as seen ones in not as good nik going for £60 and i know it works etc as i was using the car only a month or so ago

cheers for your help

[Davey j]

No probs. Shame you are breaking it really. Sometimes they do appear to be WAY more hassle than they are worth!

[scooby-KILLER]

absolutly was mate i spent a small fortune on it and stressed out very much for stupid problems, i will own another one but will be spending the small fortune on it to buy instead of buying and spending if that makes sense?. went it was going i really couldnt fault it mate but the hastle got the better of me,

[Cavalier-C20LET]

is the shell good mate? if the sheels complete i may be interested

[Davey j]

Typical GTE ownership story sadly. There is one on the MK2 owners club FOR SALE section that looks a BARGAIN at £2.8K if that can be believed. Is the Champagne one that's had a nut and bolt rebuild. Smart money is on that for me.

davey think i have seen that, cav turbo wheels?

iain strut tops front and back are mint, would need to check behind rear door cards to see if there is any thing?, out side to look/feel its original rear arches, its for sale on mk2-owners club £300 minus engine/box and couple things just want it out my face tbh

[scooby-KILLER]

ps still has fair bit of mot on it

[Cavalier-C20LET]

The one I am on about is on standard rims. It is a proper clean example.
